July 4th getaway

We had a wonderful stay. Murphy’s Retreat was the perfect home base for our holiday weekend adventures. The view from the deck is stunning and the huge fire pit and reclining chairs made for a perfect spot to hang out in the evenings. The kitchen was stocked with all the supplies you could need, the beds were comfortable, and the home was nice and clean. The location was great and close to all sorts of activities including Dover bay, the farmers market, city beach park and more. We loved watching the neighbors fireworks. Best of all, we appreciated being able to bring our dogs along. Will highly recommend this home to friends.

Amazing Get Away

Very comfortable cabin. Beautiful place to relax and catch up with family who lives nearby. Loved the grill, fire pit, deck...everything! Erin and Thomas were very accommodating, and we were able to add an extra day to our stay. It was also wonderful to have our sweet doggo enjoy a vacation with us.

Great getaway but verify lake access

The property itself was just beautiful and very well appointed. Everything we needed was there. The problem was it didn’t have direct access to the lake, which was supposed to be offset by being able to take the kayaks up the road to the public lake access. Maybe the owners didn’t know but that lake access is closed for the entire 2025 season. That was the only downside. It’s a beautiful place and for the place and the surroundings itself. I would absolutely recommend it. We had a great time together!

Came to meet our new granddaughter who lives in Ponderay. This is a true gem, such a great little cabin with beautiful views of the lake.

Perfectly charming get away

Loved our stay at Murphy’s Retreat. Comfy and quiet evenings on the large deck and fire pit. Everything you could ever need for food prep (although we elected to eat out—many places to choose from). Great place for the pups to hang with us. Lots of recommendations from hosts on places to go and things to do in the area. More amenities than a five star hotel. Place was spotless, obviously well cared for. Would highly recommend, well worth the price.

Great little property, super location.

We absolutely loved this property, it was very well stocked with everything you need. Great value for all this property offers. You can tell the hosts are welcoming and really care about your stay. Very clean and comfortable - the kitchen and main living space was perfect size for our group of 3. If there was one area for improvement it is that we were not fans of the queen bunk beds - it felt claustrophobic since one side was pushed up against the wall, and very limited head room - but the mattresses were very comfortable. Amazing outdoor spaces - decks and patio. Overall the property was one of the best we've ever stayed at - highly recommend.

All the amenities and much more!

We stayed here with our two dogs and it was the perfect spot! Conveniently located- just a short drive away from beaches, trails, good food and all the adventure Sandpoint has to offer. The place was spotless too! We loved the map of the lake that the owner put on the wall which describes all the locations to visit and where dogs are welcome. If we make it back this way, we will certainly stay here again. Thank you to the owners for working hard to make this such a wonderful place to stay with our “kids” (pups).

The owners were very thoughtful in regards to the needs of their guests, assuring that the house was filled with anything we may have needed during the duration of our stay.
